Holy Week and Easter Sunday

April 10

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday Services:
9 & 11am Traditional Worship
Located in the Sanctuary, this worship is classic, reverent, and beautifully liturgical. You’ll hear from our choir, organist, and other instrumentalists along with a message from one of our ministers.
9:30am Simple Worship
This short, casual worship service, led by Rev. Shannon Moore, located in the Chapel and is informal, interactive and engaging. We include all of the elements of standard worship — music, prayer, scripture-based sermon and communion — into a brief, family-friendly time frame.
10:10am Ten:10
This service, in Walker Hall, feels more like your favorite coffee shop than a church – complete with coffee from local favorite Ampersand. The music is acoustic and the dress is casual, so you can come as you are to meet others as we move toward more healing, hope, and wholeness – together.

April 14 at 7:30pm

Maundy Thursday

This Holy Week service of Tenebrae is located in the Sanctuary and will focus on the Passion of Jesus Christ. Through the reading of Scripture, congregational hymns and anthems sung by the Chancel Choir, we will be reminded of the events following Palm Sunday that lead us to the cross.

April 15 from 4:30 to 6pm

Good Friday

Family Holy Week Outdoor Experience: Your family is invited to walk-through Holy Week at your own pace. Seven, do-it-yourself activities around the church will guide your family into the story of Jesus’ life leading up to Easter. Families will visit the cleared temple, smell the scent of perfume shared by a beloved follower of Jesus, wash the feet of a loved one, learn how we are all part of God’s family, visit the garden to pray, and share communion with one another. At each stop, families are invited to explore scripture, take in the sights and sounds and talk with their family about Holy Week and the anticipation of the hope of Easter. Families engaging in spiritual experiences together is part of our Children’s Ministries Family Faith Formula.

6:45am

Sunrise Service

Join us for an early-morning Easter worship experience. We will gather in the Memorial Garden at 6:45a.m. to celebrate the wonder of the Resurrection and the hope of the Christian faith. Rev. Dr. Russ Peterman will deliver the Easter message and guest musician, Brad Thompson, will lead our congregational singing. All ages are welcome!
